Manners at the Main Shrine Buildings
To show your respect, please take off your hat first.
Basic manner is to bow twice, followed by two claps and another bow.
Stand in front of the worship hall and bow lightly.
You may put some coins in to the offertory box ( saisen box ).
The amount is not fixed, it depends on your feeling.
Bow twice deeply.
Hands up to the chest and have your right hand slightly under the left hand.
Clap your hands twice.
After the claps, move your right hand up to the same level of your left hand.
Pray quietly with holding your hands together.
And bow once more deeply.
